Just got finished watching last night's Bellator season opener on DVR. Kind of surprised they only had one mention the Rampage-Ortiz fight much during the fights. I'll admit to skipping over some of the non-fight parts. But it didn't look like they were spending a lot of time on Rampage-Ortiz there either.

They did mention the Chandler-Alvarez and Curran fights on the card though, which are the real reasons to get the PPV.

How the ballot works is simple, a voter who receives a card has 10 picks from among any of the performers categories and then 5 picks from the non-performers category. Any category in which an individual voter does not vote for any nominees does not count when calculating the percentages for successful nomination to the Hall.

I hated the segment with Brad Maddox and Paul Heyman. Not that it was bad, Heyman trying to weasel his way out of the stip is great, but I hate when bad guys go against bad guys. Not that I think they should get along but HHH and his goons squad should have no redeeming qualities.

In order to focus on personal business endeavors, good ol’ JR Jim Ross has retired from World Wrestling Entertainment, effective immediately.

It goes without saying that Ross is considered one of the best color commentators of all time, and he is also responsible for signing some of the best talent WWE has ever had including Steve Austin, Edge, Trish Stratus, Mick Foley, and many, many more

It blows my mind that WWE has shat all over JR for years. Dude is a living legend, he should be calling every RAW or at least every PPV. Partly because he's the best in the game pure and simple. What's crazy though is that WWE actually has a desperate need for a play by play commentator. Cole can't do it, King is colour (and a useless old sexist) and JBL is colour also. They're a motley crew of absolute fannies, the blind leading the blind. Witness that shit with AJ on Raw. Or the Heyman shit on RAW where they were sitting making stupid jokes about Heyman's personal doctor's name and shit instead of picking up what Heyman's doing and calling that shit. Anyway, JR retired. The real shame is that they didn't use him.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer just released a breaking audio update, and has provided even more information on the developing story of Jim Ross announcing his retirement from WWE.

According to Meltzer, JR met with Vince McMahon in Connecticut last night, and all but a handful of Vince's inner circle had any idea why the meeting was taking place.

The reason why Jim Ross was let go from WWE was due to his inability to control Ric Flair at the WWE 2K Sports panel that took place the night before SummerSlam. As we noted earlier, there was talk of letting JR go "the minute the panel ended," as WWE felt he should have cut Flair off and regained control of the event.

Meltzer further noted that the part of the panel that drew the most heat for Flair was when he made mention of his son Reid's death and when he joked that John Cena never used to drink before they met but now he downs a six pack of beer every night.

The update went on to note that WWE is using the "retirement" excuse as a PR move to avoid major uproar over the firing of a beloved WWE talent and Hall of Famer. Meltzer stands by his belief that Ross was let go entirely due to the 2K Sports panel because just a couple weeks ago during his Q&A session in The UK, Ross said he had no plans to retire from WWE.

Another interesting note is that aside from Vince McMahon, Triple H and a couple other employees mentioning it on Twitter, no WWE wrestlers have commented on the news of JR retiring.
